Lot 1641
1882 Trade Dollar. NGC graded Proof 67 Cameo Star. This essentially immaculate specimen has clearly been lovingly preserved since the day of its production. A Proof-only issue, the 1882 has a substantially lower production than the 1879 and 1880 dates. Lovely obverse rainbow toning. The reverse is mostly white with golden colors around the rims. Completely original with spectacular mint brilliance and color over pristine surfaces. A diminished impression is the last thing you'll expect for a Proof 67 trade dollar, and this coin displays very boldly detailed devices following the recoil of the sharp dies; a fortunate occurrence, a stately look, an amazing specimen! In sum total: a wonderful coin. 1,097 Proofs struck. Pop 1; 1 finer in 68.
Estimated Value $15,000 - 18,000.
